To be annoyed with my numpty neighbour?

[lovemyshoes]

This morning we were all rudely awoken by our idiot neighbours knocking nails in the wall adjoining our bedroom wall at 6.15 am.

When I went round after 15 minutes he refused to answer the door and when he eventually did he said he was 'just tapping'.

Not only do we have to contend with them drilling and hammering at 8pm, their dog barking constantly day in and day out and their daughter valeting their car at 4.30 in the morning, we now have to contend with this.

Ihave evry sympathy. but i am not sure how much you can actually do about it. i am a scaredy cat so i would think very hard before starting a feud with neighbours. how scary are they?
any screaming babies you can point in their direction at 3 am?

We had dealings with them since we moved in. Her daughter threatened my unborn baby 8 years ago and I climbed over the wall to smack her (needless to say I was admitted that night due to high blood pressure and also my hubby telling mw the probs at home).

They are not scarey or anything like that, but, think they are better than everyone else where we live and have no qualms about letting it known they think we are lower than them.

Get the environmental noise people from the council involved. And be prepared for eggs through your letterbox

When do they get to sleep? maybe you should make some noise then?
But seriously, you need to bury the hatchet with them as these kind of disputes can simmer on and on.

She uttered a (verbal?) threat, so you climbed over the wall to smack her?

The hammering etc at antisocial hours is very off, but you sound nuts too, quite frankly.

you sound as bad as them.

Lordy, how the other half lives is a real eye opener at times !

I personally would consider someone who climbed over a wall to "smack me" (whilst 8 weeks pregnant, therefore placing their unborn baby at risk un-necessarily) considerably beneath me.

I am so hoping that this is a troll wind-up post or are there really things like this going on ?

I am hoping this is a wind up- who climbs walls and smacks people when pregnant? No wonder they bang on the walls in the mornings, they are probably hoping you'll move. Sounds like a potential episode of Neighbours from Hell to me!
If this is real, I think you should look to your own behaviour and how your neighbour may perceive you. If you can change that perception through nice, reasonable behaviour, perhaps you can be on better terms with your neighbours. If after that they still behave like prats, report them to the council.

Oh right, so none of you would get so protective of your child unborn or not as to have a go? Yes she was very stupid to put herself in danger like that, but maybe lovemyshoes just has lots of "mother tiger" hormones.
I know i did when my dd1 was born, if anyone did anything to hurt her, especially anyone in a car i was ready to really do some damage, but then it could have been the hormones (2 weeks after giving birth).
But i'm MUCH calmer now .

I would have considered climbing over a wall was putting my baby at more risk than a verbal threat.

Maybe they are leaving the dog to bark and DIYing at odd times on purpose to annoy you?
